EXHIBITION

X-ROAD

The X-road is where the magic of Estonia´s e-services happens. This government data exchange solution is a unique way of linking up different databases and services, and keeps the exchange both simple and secure. The X-road connects public and private sector organisations, reliably transferring data concerning healthcare, population, education and even pets. In 2013, Finland announced it would adopt the same solution as a new foundation for the Finnish e-services. This paves the way for the future cross-border e-services and fully functioning common digital market.

eID

Secure online identification has become crucial for successful business. State recognised services, such as the national ID card and Mobile ID, enable inhabitants to use e-services conveniently and securely. People can authenticate themselves in e-services and sign documents digitally just in a few clicks, saving time and money. E-banking, e-government, e-voting, tax declarations, education and healthcare are a few examples of the fields where e-solutions have prospered in Estonia.

GUARDTIME

Cyber security and data integrity solutions

Guardtime is developing a digital data signature technology called Keyless Signature Infrastructure (KSI), which uses mathematical methods to independently authenticate any type of electronic data, at exabyte scale and in real time. Guardtime´s KSI technology is now in use by the governments of Estonia, the US, China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

ENABLING TOMORROW´S TAX ADMINISTRATION

E-JUSTICE
